Salignac, after having become better acquainted with me, promised that he would write at once to his Government in Paris, setting forth that, in his opinion, I have been calumniated, that personally I have inspired him with confidence, etc. He wishes that you should talk to the French minister at Weimar about this matter, so that he too might write to Paris and put in a good word for me.

Leaving the tunnel, the line continues along the slope, then gradually descends towards Souillac.

Most of the furniture here and elsewhere is of massive oak, carved in the style of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
